About this business
In a city where most restaurants have a lifespan of less than five years, it is heartening, if not surprising, to find such an old-timer. Politicians and business people have been coming here forever, buying each other martinis and waiting to be seated (no reservations are accepted). The seafood is fresh and fabulous and the decor is turn-of-the-last-century. The waitstaff is great, and it's not surprising--some of them have been here more than 30 years!

Curt wait staff is great compared to disinterested management. Awful food. – "I hope folks won't dismiss this review as sour grapes, but I just got back from eating at The Tadich Grill and the experience was substantially less than pleasant. I can live with brusque waiters and crowds. It is the financial district at lunchtime after all. However, considering what the meals cost, I was amazed at how bad the food was. Burnt bread, greasy uncleaned fish, creamed? Swiss chard with a big burned chunk cleverly hidden in the middle ... read more
Iconic seafood place that you can always count on – Tadich Grill is a no frill seafood restaurant with New York style waiters. There is no reservation, so you must go early or prepare to order a few drinks at the bar while you wait. The seafood there is simply solid, my husband and I will always go back there when we are craving for seafood, especially for lobster and crab. One of our all time favorites is their lobster thermidor. Definitely must try at least once!!!
Every great city should have one – Tadich has been my all time favorite classic no nonsense gruff but expert service fish without the fluff hangout. We dine there at least 3-4x a month. We are known there as one of their "regulars" which means we get to greet and shake the hands of every seasoned and salty waiter who has worked there since the beginning of time, almost before there was fish. We ALWAYS eat at the counter; that is a must if you really want to experience the Tadich that locals so secretly covet. The banter betw... read more
fantastic – had lunch on a weekday, little bit of a wait, terse host, but overall friendly and attentive staff. great food, quite possibly the best crab cake I have ever eaten. I am only in the city for a few days, but will try to eat here at least one more time, highly recommended.
Save yourself--don't go! – We had to wait a long time to be seated. Once seated, the menu listed several types of wine varietals for individual glasses, but said to ask your server for types and prices. When asked, the server pointed out (gruffly!) the varietals already listed and walked away. We ended up choosing a half bottle that listed the winery. The server poured the wine very haphazardly and spilled some on the butter plate. When we received our entrees, the top sirloin steak with mushroom sauce was a bad cut, tough a... read more
Many Returns – I happened upon the Tadish 30 years ago and made it a must when visiting the City. Over the years Ive enjoyed everything except steak and plan to keep it that way. It simply has the feel of a place you would like in the neighborhood.
I arrived at Tadich for my first time last Saturday at 11:25am - 5 minutes before they opened. There was a line of people but I was te first person at the bar. Food; The veal picatta was good - not mind blowing but very good. It was a thick slab vs. thinly sliced and it was well-rare. Nice! The white wine caper sauce was excelent! This dish also inluded languini-like pasta with a red pepper/tomatoe sauce that was unbelievibly great! I also had the dungeness crab salad and it was HEAVEN! The staff was freindly and cheerfull a... read more
Disappointed – I visited the Tadish Grill on 09/02/05 for lunch; I was very disappointed with the quality of food. I order prawns with fresh tomatoes this dish was $18.00. I received 6 very over cooked tasteless prawns that were very small in size, and I received two slice of tomatoes on a bed of iceberg lettuce. I sent my meal back and ordered the pan-fried pacific snapper that was also disappointing. The fish had very little flavor. The best part of the meal was the sour dough bread.
Good soup! – The reason to go to Tadich is for their soup and salads! People rave about the Lobster Bisque and I love the Coney Island Chowder. To complete the meal add a Louie Salad with crab and shrimp. The service is always great! Perfect for a business lunch!
